- Apple and Android app (not just wallet)
- Smart Media Tokens - get this going and get some big players involved!
- Understand (explore/plan) if it makes sense to build a dApp on EOS
- Start advertising aggressively for non-tech, non-crypto audiences (get a well respected public figure to endorse Steemit)

Yeees! +1 for the first recommandation.
The mobile app is a great idea! Steemit would become addictive
i agree!

Replying to 3. (Fuck) no it doesn’t make sense. I’ll make some videos showing how pointless that tech would be next to Steem. Read the SMT Whitepaper on the technological drawbacks and dangerous pitfalls of open programmability - though there are
certainly more I haven’t described yet.
@ned thanks for the direct reply. I was thinking in terms of scalability and speed. I want Steemit to be able to handle as much traffic as Facebook and Reddit and EOS may be a way to achieve that (I get that there are other options to scale Steemit, so maybe I should have reworded #3 to explore areas to scale Steemit further). Still look forward to the videos for education purposes.
On SMTs, can you help us understand the timeframe for demo-ing an SMT ICO? I'd like to see it in action and how easy it will be to integrate into established websites.
Hi @ned, I have been trying my best to draw attention to the issue of "Upvote Services" and how they are upending the entire sorting algorithm here on Steemit.
It may not be too apparent to the larger players here on Steemit, but as a young Steemian, I felt the full effects of the issue.
I have written 2 in-depth posts, diagnosing the issue and another on utopian.io for a proposed solution to the issue. If you have the time, please give it a read as I am putting in a great effort to see something come of it, as it truly is affecting minnows massively and I sincerely believe the proposed solution is a massively positive impact upon Steemit. You can find them here:

Proposal for New 'Promoted' Function
Thank you.
What about the permissions system? Ability to define custom permissions and give them to people seems fundamental. Right now we have all kinds of tools (G Suite, project management platforms like Trello and Slack, content platforms like Youtube, literally thousands of websites) and each has their own user system and their own permission levels that you assign to users. As I understand it, one of the promises of EOS is to be able to have one blockchain that all such websites can connect with. All users are on the blockchain. You just define your custom permissions (e.g. ability to post to a certain Slack channel, ability to upload videos, etc.) and assign them to users of your choosing.
This would not only simplify the burden of managing users and logins across many different websites, but it would allow for shared ownership of the data. It seems to me that it's a technological foundation that can help enable a different kind of society.
Do SMTs have anything like that?
The customizable permissions functionality was conceived and designed by Steem’s very own, Michael @Vandeberg, so you can expect it to be done best in Steem. Any other platform employing it is copying.
Sounds intriguing! Thanks for answering, and I'll definitely be more closely following the developments on that functionality.
If issues like what I am about to post are not fixed/taken care of then, all the raodmaps, all the dreams of SMT's are going to fall by the wayside. Please do something about this person who thinks they can dictate who and how much they are allowed to earn on steemit.If they can do this with steem they can do the same damn thing to people earning SMt's or using them. Here is the problem:
I hope you are able to read this @ned - - - Something seriously needs to be done. - - - Please read this post https://steemit.com/steemit/@michelle.gent/i-writer
Here was my comment to her "That totally sucks. I as you know, really appreciated being able to read your stories. It is what I enjoy doing, reading, then to have as ass wipe drive you away, I am more than slightly pissed off. And here is the problem child:
Can I as a new user do anything about this, other than to inform you of the problem, he has 495,379.986 STEEM (-130,561.023 STEEM), my downvote to him would not even be noticed.
